Ghost Box II from Hingston & Olsen

Contains "Gray Matter" by King; individually bound booklet.

The Ghost Box returns, like a mummy or a batman, to once again make your pupils dilate and the hair on your arms stand straight up—it’s another collection of individually bound scary stories, edited and introduced by comedian and spooky specialist Patton Oswalt.

Ghost Box II includes stories by:

Gertrude Atherton

Louisa Baldwin

Robert Hugh Benson

Tananarive Due

Harlan Ellison

Janet Fox

Patricia Highsmith

Joe Hill

Stephen King

Julius Long

Michael Shea

Like last year, each handmade box features a matte-black finish, an iridescent colour-shifting foil stamp on top, and a magnetized lid. The booklets once again have debossed design details and are bound with brass staples. This year’s edition also includes a ribbon bookmark, of which we’re pretty fond.

“Because when we’re terrified about the enormity of the universe’s indifference, and our smallness in the face of it, we tell stories. When we’re powerless to shape and control our fear, we tell stories. When we feel alone, we tell stories.”
— FROM PATTON OSWALT'S INTRODUCTION

Of course we all know him from comedy; is he also a horror aficionado? (If so, cool).

He is an aficionado of many things. He did an impromptu Star Wars monologue on Parks and Recreation. He's big into horror, fantasy, sci-fi. I think he knew Harlan Ellison personally. I follow him on Twitter -- he's a fascinating guy.

Captain, Road Prison 36 : What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

He is apparently also contributing to the book about the "Stand by me" movie, with essays by Josh Boone and Marilyn Manson.
I would also not be surprised if a Bev Vincent may be contributing to it?
